MBiL_248: You can read German? You really never stop to astonish me. ;-)
The article says only, that Germans will be able to activate the game on Steam with a German IP, but there will be rather sure no German shop page.
No, I don't know German. I just recall seeing this article posted somewhere else and assumed that "Dead Island without Region Lock for Germany" meant that it will be available for purchase for German IPs, but I forgot that regional locking can have many forms on Steam.
Nergal01: Yeah, but I believe that mostly means that buying and redeeming Steam keys won't be a problem. Just a few days ago, I could still see the Remastered editions of DI and Riptide in the German Steam store, and now they're gone. >_>
Oh well. That settles it.
